D&D Reader app brings paper reference books to your tablet

As much as I've wanted digital copies of the Dungeons & Dragons Core Rule books, considering that you have to pay-to-unlock all content for D&D Beyond and that the average player already has purchased physical copies of 5th Edition rulebooks, it's starting to feel like the players are being nickel-and-dimed. 

If Wizards integrated Reader and Beyond—where I could buy the Player's Handbook in one and have access to it on the other service—this would definitely become a instant buy for me. Until then, I have the Fight Club app by Lion's Den and a hardcover copy of the rulebooks.

Two Views of Fantasy Warfare

From the Tumblr CreativeRogues:

The D&D game is clearly rooted in the medieval warfare tradition. Soldiers wear chain-mail or plate armor, and they wield weapons such as swords and bows.  Knights gallop across the battlefield on horses, and catapults bombard castle walls. 

Yet, the presence of fantastic creatures and magic supports a more modern kind of warfare, in which flying creatures provide air support, soldiers use camouflage or magic to hide themselves from enemies, and spells that affect a large area can devastate clusters of troops. 

Very interesting read on how to apply modern and medieval warfare tactics to your game of Dungeons and Dragons.
